I've always heard a sulfate-free shampoo is the way to go.

I have a really hard time getting red to last more than a few days before major fading, so I just ordered some nice shampoo and am going to redye and see exactly how well that holds true. Either way, sulfate-free is just a lot nicer on your hair!

Going back to Natural Instincts for a moment, I've used shades in the warm/golden family in the past, Pecan to be exact, and got a nice, deep auburn.

Reading some of the MUA reviews, a lot of people aren't too happy with how red some of the shades come out, especially the darker ones, but I like red hair on me, so I was okay with it.

Has anyone with dark hair used Spiced Tea or Cinnaberry? I'm sitting on a box of Cinnaberry at the moment, but wonder if Spiced Tea would be a better shade.

Don't be afraid of mixing your own dye! This stuff is the best, esp if u have dark brown hair! All you need to do is buy a dye bottle, the color, a bottle of developer-20v lifts 2 shades(most store kits give u this which is why alot of girls get brassy)30v lifts 3 shades ect...you should use l'oreals oreor developer with this dye, and then I always purchase a packette of deep conditioner to use afterwards just like the drugstore kits give you. I don't have red hair but I use this brands beige dark blonde shade and I love it.

Best hair dye ever is: Féria by L'Oréal,
I use the Ruby Rush color and never in my life have I been complemented so much on my hair! I have had professional salon stylists tell me I have THE BEST hair and color they have seen and I do it in my kitchen sink for around 12$ if I can get my dye on sale. I have naturally light brown hair but the cool thing about this dye was it dyed right over light black hair! I seriously recommend this brand of dye to anybody who wants sexy bright red hair!

Could anyone recommend a dye that will achieve this colour? Obviously it's a red/combination of reds from the Majirouge range, so if anyone could pin point the exact colours, that would be great!

I noticed that Garnier Nutrisse has been mentioned a few times, but if you are looking for a bright red, you need to make sure you buy the Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Colors (they are labeled as being made for dark hair). I believe they have three different shades. I use R3 which is the brightest. It HONESTLY barely fades. The only reason I need to dye my hair again is because my roots start to show. I love this color!!

Hope that helped!

The same brand I suggested for the original post, but a different shade. Hope that helps!!

Thank you for the suggestion! However, I would rather use a salon colour, not a box dye.

 

[lovelydisarray]

good luck to you!

hey guys, what color/brand would you suggest for this shade of red? My hair's pretty much dark like hers (I dyed it light brown, going to dye it dark again this week) and I want to do the ends like that. Probably will bleach the ends and dye them red. Help please?

[lulu31589]

[leelopp]

[chileankiwi]

I used the Garnier Dark to Red dye and it washed out so much after one day... it sucked.

 

[amanderson2000]

The best red I have ever had was number 047 Disco Infreno buy Clairol/Herbal Essences, however it was discontinued and I cannot find any red to match it.

Hey! I may be male, but I can sure tell something about auburn hair color. For most of my life I was natural auburn hair colored. Well, I'm 42 now and I'm shaving my head; You already know why. But on the other hand - I loooooove auburn hair color - my wife "wears" it. She was actually artificial blonde for more than 20 years, but she decided to change that few months ago. I can tell auburn red hair changed many things. I wouldn't wanna name all of them, but there are significant changes

I hope this won't be considered spam or anything like that, but there's a nice website right about auburn hair color I'd recommend to any woman:
http://www.squidoo.com/auburnhaircolor
Bottom line: girls, use auburn hair color - it shows passion and joy!
